Little Engine that Could (animated version) plarails?

4 Replies, 4996 Views

So first off does anyone else remember that animated movie of the Little Engine that Could from the 90s?

If so, imagine if plarail or someone made models of the engines and rolling stock from it? The odds are super slim (it’s a really old movie) but it would be neat.

Thoughts?

Does that engine look something like this... if it does we had a Member here that made a couple custom HO versions that were pretty cool but I can't remember who. Sounds like a good idea for a custom Plarail as long as the smoke stack wasn't too high. Maybe one of the Western Style steam engines would be a good candidate like the Disneys, Benkai or Yoshitsune. Come to think of it the newer released Yoshitsune may be a good candidate since he wasn't as popular and is a bit bigger to work with.

Yep that’s the one!

The other engines in that movie would be neat to.

It’s a bit weird seeing a face on a smokestack when we’re used to seeing them on boilers.

I did find the Thread with the Tillie custom https://www.blueplastictracks.com/showth...ght=Tillie its a shame that the Images can't bee seen from Imgur as the modifications were very well done.
I think that’s the version my son watched over and over again a couple years ago. Was this the one with the subplot about a kid who falls asleep on a boxcar and ends up in the engines’ dream world?

EDIT: Apparently, I’m thinking of a later, CGI version that used similar character designs.
